No, please do not bring your own campfire.

If you have hired a bell tent with a platform you will have access to your own small firepit. Logs, kindling and firelighters will be provided in your tent on arrival. There is a campfire in the amphitheatre for all to use. Please use the logs provided and do not leave them unattended.

We have space for you to bring your own BBQs on the gravelled area behind the tin shed. Please do not use your own BBQs anywhere else in the campsite.

Please ensure the space is clean and tidy once you have finished with it, and respect others using the area too.

We also have three great barbecues onsite for you to use, these are situated on the gravel area at the back of the Clubhouse. These are charcoal only - no logs. You can buy charcoal from the Farm Shop, as well as firelighters and matches if you need them.

Please clean them after use, but wait until it has cooled down. If they are too hot to be left, please splash them with water.

Unfortunately, we do not have facilities to dispose of chemical waste on-site. All waste must be taken off site when you leave. You’ll find proper loos, showers and washing-up facilities all onsite.
